Wilt Pray For Me?

Title:     Wilt Pray For Me?
Author: Abram Joseph Ryan [More Titles by Ryan]

Wilt pray for me?
They tell me I have Fame;
I plead with thee,
Sometimes just fold my name
In beautiful "Hail Marys"!
And you give me more
Than all the world besides.
It praises Poets for the well-sung lay;
But ah! it hath forgotten how to pray.
It brings to brows of Poets crowns of Pride;
Some win such crowns and wear;
Give me, instead, a simple little Prayer.

[The end]
Abram Joseph Ryan's poem: Wilt Pray For Me?
